J&K Assembly Budget Session likely to witness pandemonium

Jammu: The budget session of the Jammu and Kashmir Assembly is set to begin on a stormy note on Monday as the Opposition is geared up to grill the Omar Abdullah government on various issues, including the arrest of ousted minister Shabir Khan in a molestation case.

JKNPP has decided to gherao the Assembly premises to demand dismissal of the NC-Congress government.

"There are lots of issues - from corruption to failure of governance on all fronts - and we will raise them vociferously," a PDP spokesman said.

Speaker Mubarak Gul, who chaired an all-party meeting, said that he would provide ample time and opportunities to the legislators to highlight public-centric issues for seeking redressal of problems confronting people.

He stressed for joint efforts to ensure smooth running of the House.

Legislators assured their full cooperation in the smooth conduct of the session at the meeting.

The budget session, last one of the present Omar-government, is likely to be 36-day long.
